The e-Mobility market is evolving rapidly, with noticeable changes in consumer approaches and travel patterns post-COVID. Recent surveys, highlighting the preferences of thousands of drivers all over the world, have found that over 50% of those planning to buy a car soon, will likely choose a fully electric, plug-in hybrid, or hybrid vehicle^[1]. This trend is gaining momentum globally with both private and public vehicles with traditional internal combustion engines being gradually replaced with hybrid and fully electrified ones

e-Mobility solutions for powertrain and auxiliary systems in vehicles

Our e-Mobility division develops end-to-end solutions for electric vehicles, including innovative high-performance powertrains, electrified auxiliaries, and software solutions that are designed to help advance the adoption of clean energy transportation.

In early 2021, SolarEdge was selected to supply full electrical powertrain units and batteries for the production of the Fiat E-Ducato LCV. We have supplied more than 3,400 eLCV kits (by the end of 2022). We continue to explore opportunities to support additional markets with our innovative e-Mobility solutions.

e-Mobility

Supporting the installation and use of our products, we provide a suite of software apps for the management and continuous monitoring of SolarEdge PV systems and all connected devices. For example, mySolarEdge is our proprietary mobile app for home system owners, offering ease of monitoring at the module level, real-time control, and troubleshooting in the case of performance issues. 

Software tools:

SolarEdge DC power optimized systems provide essential tools that manage smart energy production and consumption. These tools (see below) help increase the efficiency of power generation and the overall electricity consumption of consumers. The combined improved cost-effectiveness of these PV systems and tools helps to make affordable clean energy available to a broader population.

All SolarEdge system components connect to each other via a cloud-based secure network and can be monitored and operated via an online connection. This makes it easy to use and facilitates real-time decision-making regarding energy production and storage.

Communication options:

DC Power Optimizers are attached to individual solar modules to maximize each PV panel’s DC power output before the power is converted to AC power by the inverter, which means more solar energy. Power Optimizers mitigate the impact of module-level performance mismatch in a PV system, thereby limiting the ability of one PV module to negatively impact the performance of other modules. In this way, power generation performance is maximized at the individual PV module level, increasing the financial and environmental benefits of the solar PV system.

Power Optimizers:

SolarEdge inverters convert the DC power produced by PV modules to AC power that can be used in the home or business or exported to the local electricity grid. SolarEdge’s inverters have varying power ratings and feature sets. These variations are designed to match the specific needs of either residential or commercial/industrial solar energy systems, and to align with the characteristics of local electricity grids in the numerous regions where SolarEdge products are available.  

Inverters:

The SolarEdge Home Battery is an essential component of our solar PV systems. The batteries provide energy storage to overcome periods of low energy production (for example, limited sunshine) or no energy production (nighttime). This enables the supply of electricity from the battery, even in times of grid outages. Also, when grid electricity is required, the SolarEdge Home Battery enables charging at lower-rate tariffs, for example, overnight. The battery is DC coupled - it can store both AC power output from the inverters and direct DC power output from the PV modules. This important feature helps to minimize energy waste and maximize storage.

Batteries:

The SolarEdge portfolio provides advanced technology for PV systems, allowing the harvesting and management of solar energy with an optimized solution.

Solar PV systems designed for maximum renewable power production:

With up to 22kW charging power, our SolarEdge EV Charger can be integrated into a home or business PV system for single and three phase installations, both indoor and outdoor. It provides power for family or commercial vehicles, extending green living and working to include green mobility. Through the utilization of PV power for vehicle battery charging, the SolarEdge EV Charger amplifies the environmental benefits of electric vehicles: the solar power used reduces the need for charging the vehicle with more carbon-intense grid-electricity as is the case with most EV chargers.  

EV Chargers:

SolarEdge’s intelligent solution, combining inverters with Power Optimizers, has changed the way solar power is harvested and managed. This solution offers both design flexibility and performance reliability at the level of individual solar panels, ensuring that each panel delivers the maximum energy output.

Our diverse portfolio serves as the backbone of our residential and commercial PV systems. Some of our systems are designed to meet the clean energy needs of individual homeowners and multi-family tenant buildings. Other systems, with higher capacities, are designed to serve various commercial, industrial, agricultural and utility needs.

As the use of solar power becomes more widespread around the world as a source of clean energy for millions of people, it is important to maximize the renewable energy output of each installed photovoltaic (PV) system. Doing so facilitates the acceleration of the global transition to low-carbon energy dependence.
